ORIJEN 6 Fresh Fish with Sea Vegetables - Biologically Appropriate for All Breeds
Surrounded by Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans and home to vast freshwater rivers and lakes, Canada’s marine harvest is perfectly suited to the ORIJEN nutritional philosophy of high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets made with maximum inclusions of fresh regional ingredients. High-protein, low-carbohydrate and grain-free ORIJEN 6 FISH replicates the same rich balance of meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that dogs would encounter in a wilderness setting, but with single-source protein from fish and single-source carbohydrate from potato.
ORIJEN 6 FISH for DOGS has a Metabolizable Energy (ME) of 4020 kcal/kg or 460 kcal per 250ml cup (115g). Calories are distributed to promote peak physical conditioning with 45% from protein, 25% from fruit & vegetables and 30% from fat.
My 10 year-old Boston Terrier thrives on this food.

Our Chihuahua has allergies to chicken and rice - two of the three most common dog food ingredients (the other being corn sadly). In our quest to find better food options for him, we kept running into Orijen. Lots of protein, fresh ingredients and best of all he really loves it. The only complaint is the kibble size is a bit on the big side for him but it doesn't stop him from cleaning his bowl. Oh, and that our finicky cat keeps trying to eat it too!
4. Gayle on 12/14/2009, said:
Out two chihuahuas both love this food!!! Both of their coats are are very shiny. Unfortunately our 10 year old chi ended up gaining weight on it, so we will have to return to a weight reduction formula.

My boxer boy loves this food and looks amazing because of it.
This bayou classic allows dogs to get in touch with their southern senses. We all know that Napoleon did us a favor with the Louisiana Purchase at 3 cents an acre but we have to believe that if he could have foreseen the mixed breed that is Cajun cooking coming that even he would have thought twice about his most famous garage sale. The delicious combination of all these flavors cooked together makes even vegetarians reconsider their pledge. It’s time that all of our dog friends had a taste of this Cajun Treat. The Merrick’s would like to toast Napoleon, so finish this entrée off with his dessert’s namesake and thank the French for their charity – strike that, thank our forefathers for absolutely owning them!

The product quality was good but for some reason my dogs did not seem to like the taste.
It’s the first lick, the wobbly crawl and the cut on your finger from putting it in their mouth when you shouldn’t have. These soft, cuddly friends come into our lives, and we grow with them. They become our friends long before they are housebroken, stop tearing things up and crying in the middle of the night. So we cooked up a special dish with lots of TLC that we think transitions them nicely from their momma’s milk and welcomes them to earth but still with a firm handshake. At Merrick we call it Puppyhood and without Merrick in their life, well it’s pretty much boredom. So skip the national grocery brands and stop sheltering them because they’re gonna grow up sooner or later and find Merrick on their own so you might as well have the “talk” now. The Merrick’s say “send us some pics of the new pups and we’ll add them to our album.”

Duck is also high in protein and niacin, an essential B Vitamin. Once again, our deboned duck has the same delicious taste and exceptional quality as that from any grocery store.

Large Breed Adult Health - Dog Food - With grand scale and greater weight, your large breed dog has a unique physical composition that creates special nutritional needs.
Obesity is a Bigger Challenge for Large Breeds Extra weight puts extra stress on a large frame, so it's important for your dog to feel satiated without consuming excess calories. With moderate fat, this recipe helps control energy intake allowing your dog to eat enough and still maintain a healthy weight every day.
Small Digestive Tracts Relative to Body Size It is important for large breeds to easily digest and process food. We include live, naturally-occurring micro-organisms to support digestive health and we ensure optimal nutrient absorption through our Digestool™ confirmation studies - less nutrients in the stool, means more nutrients in the body.
Higher Percentage of Muscle Mass With greater size, there is more muscle to support and keep strong so we use 13% more protein than our Super5Mix Complete Health Recipe with 4 quality animal protein sources.
Need to Keep Joints Healthy Carrying an average weight of 100 pounds is hard work. To help keep joints healthy, this recipe features our WellFlex® System - 750 mg/kg of glucosamine hydrochloride and 250 mg/kg of chondroitin sulfate.
Large Breeds Tend to Eat Too Fast This bigger, rounder kibble is designed to promote proper chewing time in larger mouths. We also guarantee your dog will love the taste of each healthy, flavorful bite. Outstanding fiber source for healthy digestion. A naturally rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids.

Large Breed Puppy Health - Dog Food - With a longer growth cycle and faster potential growth rate, your large breed puppy has a unique physical composition that creates special nutritional needs.
Controlled Bone Development Optimal skeletal development depends on appropriate amounts of calcium and phosphorus. We carefully control these mineral levels and then guarantee their accuracy on every bag - so you can be sure your puppy will grow strong bones at the right pace.
Paced, Steady Growth Rate With a potential growth up to 100 times their birth weight, a large breed puppy's energy intake must be regulated to ensure consistent, steady growth. That's why this special recipe controls calories with 20% less fat than Super5Mix Just for Puppy.
The Right Start to a Healthy Weight With more weight on larger frames, maintaining ideal body condition is a big concern. Since lean muscle is the foundation of healthy weight, this recipe has 26% protein with 4 quality animal protein sources to help develop strong, lean muscle.
DHA to Support Brain Development Smart and trainable, large breed dogs often grow up to lead and serve. To help support cognitive development vital to training, we use salmon meal and salmon oil to provide DHA, a fatty acid normally found in their mother's milk.
50% Longer Growth Cycle Some large breeds are considered puppies for up to 24 months so they need a healthy food that tastes great day after day. With satisfaction guaranteed, we use deboned chicken and whitefish to provide a natural taste that puppies love.

Calories:
This food contains 3,520 kcal per kilogram or 366 kcal per cup ME (metabolizable energy) on an as fed basis (calculated).
Transitioning to Wellness: It is important to slowly transition your puppy from his/her current diet as it takes a few days for the body to adapt to the new nutrient levels. To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5-7 day period, increasing the amount of Wellness each day, so that you are feeding 100% Wellness by day 7.
How to Feed Your Puppy: As puppies grow up they need to learn when, where and how to eat. Depending on age, puppies need to be fed at the same time and in the same place 2 - 4 times per day. Food should be removed after 20 minutes, if not eaten. In the beginning, puppy's food can be moistened with a little warm water. It is very important that your puppy not overeat, as this can lead to skeletal development issues in large breeds.
Determining Feeding Portions: Looking at the chart below, divide the total cups per day by the total number of times you feed your puppy per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Wellness believes in feeding dry and wet food in combination whenever possible to help increase the level of water in your puppy's diet.
Recommended Feeding Portions (Based on a standard 8 oz dry measuring cup)
Every dog is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level. Please use the information below as an initial recommendation only and adjust when needed.

My pup (a great pyrenees) started having loose stool after I began feeding him this. Ingrediants say it is a good food, but it didn't work out for him and made house breaking that much harder.
2. Stephanie on 8/20/2009, said:
We have a 10 month old German Shepherd puppy, MAJEK, who isn't much of a foodie, so what she eats has to have exceptional value. She seems to enjoy Wellness for Large Breeds more than some of the other premium brands she has had during food rotation every 3 months or so and food blends. She has one large meal of kibble/can and one smaller meal of raw/raw bones daily. She has maintained nice slow steady growth and is currently 62 pounds. We are expecting her to finish around 70 pounds and we expect to have her on a large breed puppy food for at least another year.
3. Lori on 8/7/2009, said:
My Golden puppy does very well on this food. His skin is perfect and his stools are small and well formed. He loves the food so much, I can even use it as training treats.

Our dogs were eating Pedagree and my Lab had urinary problems and anxiety problems. Trying to find a dog food that didn't have corn, wheat and soy in the first 3 ingredients proved to be expensive. Wellness has turned my Lab around and I also feel confident having my Assie eating it too. And I doesn't cost $200 a month to feed my 2 dogs

I've only been feeding it to my miniature Schnauzer for a short while, so I don't know how it will do long-term. She eats it, but acts like she is still hungry. Runs to my little toy dog's bowl to see if there's anything left! (No luck--the little one scarfs it all down....) I wish this formula had more protein and less grain. The food she was eating before I put her on this one had 28% protein, so I wonder if she's getting enough now with just 17%.

How to Feed Your Puppy - As puppies grow up they need to learn when, where and how to eat. Depending on age, puppies need to be fed at the same time and in the same place 2-4 times per day. Food should be removed after 20 minutes, if not eaten. In the beginning, puppy's food can be moistened with a little warm water.
Determining Feeding Portions: Looking at the chart below, divide the total cups per day by the total number of times you feed your puppy per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Wellness believes in feeding dry and wet food in combination whenever possible to help increase the level of water in your puppy's diet.

Transitioning to Wellness: It is important to slowly transition your dog from his/her current diet as it takes a few days for the body to adapt to the new nutrient levels. To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5-7 day period, increasing the amount of Wellness each day, so that you are feeding 100% Wellness by day 7.
Determining Feeding Portions: : Looking at the chart below, divide the total cups per day by the total number of times you feed your dog per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Wellness believes in feeding dry and wet food in combination whenever possible to help increase the level of water in your dog's diet.
Recommended Feeding Portions (Based on a standard 8 oz dry measuring cup)
Every dog is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level. Please use the information below as an initial recommendation only and adjust when needed.

Nutrition is only one part of the equation! Be sure to give your dog plenty of love, plenty of exercise and see your veterinarian regularly to help ensure total wellness.
I really think I see a difference in my Cavaliers' coats.

I have a very picky dog and she likes this food!

My little Brussels Griffon loves this, and it agrees with her sensitive tummy quite well. I bought such a large bag that it should last her quite some time.

dogs love it no problems

Almost seems like too many ingredients in this one; my dogs like the flavor, but it's tending to upset their digestive system. They respond the best to Orijen Fresh Fish (lucky me - the hardest to get and most expensive of all!)

My doberman is allergic to all dry foods except Horizons . I feed it to her & feed Horizons Puppy to my other dobe pup.

My dogs didn't see to be that thrilled with it. It's a very good food health wise but a bit expensive.
